When Kong Xuande heard Ning Guzhou mention the Ninth Prince without any hesitation, he immediately gave him an ambiguous look.

But seeing that he had a smile on his face, as if he didn't take his words seriously, Kong Xuande felt very uncomfortable, but he was the one who brought up the topic, so how could he back down?

Kong Xuande was thinking about making further efforts to let Ning Guzhou know how powerful he was, but Wen Baicao suddenly smiled and said, "You two are allies, not enemies. How can you let your relationship become strained because of a few outsiders?"

As he spoke, he deliberately took a step forward, as if to stand between the two of them and prevent them from continuing their argument.

Ning Guzhou saw through his thoughts at a glance, but said nothing. He just stared at Kong Xuande calmly, as if waiting for his reaction.

Wen Baicao observed the changes in his expression and understood his thoughts. She immediately put her hand to her lips and coughed, but her eyes fell on Kong Xuande, as if she was reminding him with her eyes not to say anything unpleasant.

Kong Xuande received his eye signal, his expression slightly moved, then he took a step forward and said in a clear tone: "Are you dealing with these Han princes in order to get out of Bashu? In fact, Bashu has indeed trapped us, so Yang Caiwei and I are also trying to find a way to solve the dilemma."

"But we can only use the Han princes and we will never cooperate with them. Ning Guzhou, you are one of the four great families after all. How can you kowtow in front of the Han princes?"

He said this earnestly, as if he had seen through Ning Guzhou's plan a long time ago but had not pointed it out. Now he pointed it out to persuade Ning Guzhou not to act on his own will.

Ning Guzhou felt that his words were disgusting and he almost vomited out the food he had eaten the night before.

However, when he saw Wen Baicao observing him, he immediately calmed himself and said meaningfully, "Kong Xuande, what are you and Yang Caiwei planning? I know it very well. I didn't point it out before because I thought we had a tacit understanding, but I didn't expect you two to be so careless."

After leaving behind these thought-provoking words, Ning Guzhou turned and left, leaving Kong Xuande standing there with a cold expression.

Wen Baicao had some thoughts in mind, but said calmly, "I've told you before that you need to keep a calm mindset and not try to ignore others just because you have the upper hand."

"Who doesn't have some calculations when they make it in Bashu? If you neglect it too much, you might end up getting burned."

"That's not what you said before." Kong Xuande looked a little aggrieved after hearing Wen Baicao's words full of advice.

Wen Baicao shook his head and smiled: "Things are changing too fast, I can only take one step at a time."

After learning the news of Xia Feng's death, Wen Baicao felt very uneasy.

He didn't want to put all the pressure on Bashu and tried to find another way out, but Kong Xuande and Yang Caiwei were too ambitious and overconfident.

The two men hid in the dark and whispered to each other for a while, then they began to object to his existence.

He realized that if he took any other action, these two people would definitely change their attitude and treat him as an enemy.

Although he was not afraid of this, he did not want to create any more trouble at this time. He could only pretend that he had not noticed their plan and tried his best to persuade Kong Xuande to be careful and not to fall into the ditch.

"Kong Xuande, we are in a cooperative relationship after all. With your help, I can stay safe in Bashu. So no matter what happens, I will stand by your side and give you advice."

Wen Baicao's voice was very faint, as if it would be blown away by the wind, but Kong Xuande heard his words clearly. As his thoughts turned, he smiled and said, "You just don't want others to ignore you. No wonder the two princes are so wary of you."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Wen Baicao and saw that his face was unusually calm, as if he had no emotion at all. He continued, "You and I have known each other for more than ten years. Who among the famous people in Bashu doesn't know how our relationship is? Instead of worrying about this, you might as well relax."

Hearing him say this, Wen Baicao's thoughts turned, and she smiled faintly and said: "The reason why I said this in front of you is because I feel uneasy."

Kong Xuande understood the meaning of his words, and as his thoughts turned, he could no longer make any promises to him. After all, vigilance against the Han people had long been engraved in their bones.

Wen Baicao was obviously aware of this, so he walked forward without saying anything more and soon arrived at the inner courtyard. At this time, Wan Shufang had already arrived with Taru.

When she looked around, she saw Wen Baicao, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

She thought Wen Baicao would continue to hide, but she didn't expect him to appear here.

What does he mean by this? Is he planning to use Yang Caiwei's people to get rid of him?

Wan Shufang had some bad thoughts in her mind, but she calmly withdrew her gaze and fixed her eyes precisely on the pale-faced Chang Xuewei.

"Before I came here, I thought I would see you here, but when I really saw you, I felt a little sad."

Chang Xuewei took a few days to recuperate, but her injuries were still very serious. However, in order to avoid being eliminated as waste by Yang Caiwei, she used a lot of poisonous insects to stabilize her injuries.

Hearing Wan Shufang's words, Chang Xuewei forced a smile and said sarcastically, "Sad? That's a really weird thing to say. You and I are enemies! If I hadn't been tricked by the Sixth and Ninth Princes, how dare you speak to me like that?"

As she spoke, she glared at Wan Shufang coldly, as if she regarded her as an enemy and wished she could be cut into pieces in the next moment.

Wan Shufang met her extremely angry eyes with an unusually calm expression, as if she didn't take Chang Xuewei's anger seriously.

"You behaved inappropriately, and that's why you ended up like this. If you could turn over a new leaf, how could you be trapped here?"

Speaking of the word "sleepy", Wan Shufang deliberately glanced at Yang Caiwei who was next to her.

But seeing that her face was calm, but there seemed to be a fire burning in the depths of her eyes, Wan Shufang suddenly sighed: "Yang Caiwei didn't admit that she had any contact with you before, but now that I see you two together, I feel that some things are even more absurd than I thought."

"Xia Feng is just too confident in herself. If she had thought a little more and tried to investigate you, she wouldn't have been abandoned by the Eighth Prince."

Chang Xuewei had already known what happened to Xia Feng through Yang Caiwei.

She also thought Xia Feng was stupid. The Eighth Prince had no opinion of his own. As long as Tu Zhizhi was eliminated and Ye Yun was controlled, the Eighth Prince would be the best puppet.

Xia Feng never expected that he had such thoughts, but he misjudged Ye Yun's role in it, so he was tricked by Taru and lost his life.

"Xia Feng is a traitor to the Gu Clan after all. Her mind became twisted the moment she was driven out of the Gu Clan, so her behavior is absurd. It's not a pity that she ended up like this."

"On the contrary, both you and I will feel happy. After all, the death of a member of the Gu tribe with an unpredictable temperament will ensure our safety."
